What Clients Can Expect

Gina’s clients know that they have a true partner and a resource throughout their immigration process. She treats each client with equal interest, attention and effort. To her, no two cases are alike and she approaches each client representation with genuine interest and a desire to help. Gina understands that the people and companies she represents need guidance to reach the end goal, in addition to the legal help. Gina often works with clients’ corporate counsel and CPAs to ensure that all aspects of their monetary and legal matters fit in with the immigration plan she and her clients create. She is a creative thinker whose tenacity and outside-of-the-box thinking helps clients through some of the most complex cases.

My focus in representing clients is always to be a partner - to help them achieve their goals.
